Talos, the premier provider of institutional trading and portfolio technology for digital assets, announced that it will acquire Coin Metrics, the leading provider of crypto financial intelligence. By incorporating Coin Metrics’ extensive crypto market data, blockchain analytics and benchmark indexes with Talos’s platform – a unified order and execution management (OEMS) and portfolio management system (PMS) – the combination will create the industry’s first integrated data and investment management platform. This acquisition aligns with Talos’s strategy of building the most comprehensive, one-stop solution for all institutional trading workflows in digital assets.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Coin Metrics to Talos,” said Anton Katz, CEO and Co-Founder of Talos. “By bringing our platforms together, we’re creating a fully integrated, one-stop solution that benefits the clients of both firms. Institutions increasingly look to us to support the entire digital asset investment lifecycle, from trading and portfolio management to market data, on-chain analytics, and portfolio construction. Combining our teams and technologies delivers a uniquely powerful platform, making our offering significantly stronger for our clients.”

Data is a crucial component within trading and portfolio management workflows, particularly for the largest institutional clients both companies serve. The firms’ complementary services will create synergies for their collective clients, including streamlined access to advanced portfolio analytics, sophisticated risk monitoring, premium indexes and industry-leading execution capabilities.

“Joining forces with Talos represents an exciting next chapter for Coin Metrics,” said Tim Rice, CEO and Co-Founder of Coin Metrics. “Both companies believe in a future where digital assets are pervasive, requiring robust infrastructure to support trading, investment, and risk management at scale. Our combined expertise will deliver the industry’s most powerful integrated platform for institutions to operate in the digital asset economy.”

Coin Metrics, headquartered in Boston, is poised to benefit from Talos’s established global reach with offices in New York, London, Cyprus, and Singapore serving clients across 32 countries. Both firms are known and trusted by many of the largest global financial institutions in the world.

This transaction will mark the largest acquisition in Talos’s history. In recent years, Talos has acquired leading digital asset firms to expand its institutional platform. Talos significantly enhanced its portfolio management system with best-in-class capabilities from the acquisition of Cloudwall, a risk management technology provider, Skolem, an infrastructure platform for institutional DeFi trading, and D3X Systems, a portfolio construction platform for systematic investment in digital assets.

Just to give you a feeling of the appetites for the crypto data in the TradFi world: Coin Metrics was aquired by Talos for 100M.
And Talos did not raise any additional capital for the deal.
Meanwhile a normie CT probably never heard of either.
